3.1 Quick Installation Wizard
3.1.1 WAN Parameters
AWL700 provides three ways to have an IP address in its WAN interface – Fixed IP,
DHCP Client, and PPPoE. There are three radio boxes in this configuration page and
you can choose the one, which is suitable for your access environment. If you have
applied for a dedicated IP address in your WAN side, you can choose Fixed IP mode
to connect to the Internet. If you has a DHCP server co-existed in your WAN or If
your ISP (NSP) provides DHCP services for you, then you can choose DHCP Client
mode to acquire an IP address to access the Internet. Finally, most of the ADSL service
providers not only provide their customers dedicated IP address but also provide dial-in
service. If you apply for dial-in service from your ISP, you can choose PPPoE to access
Internet except your ISP does not provide PPPoE as her dial-in solution.
IP Address – This is WAN interface’s IP address.
Netmask – This is WAN interface’s subnet mask.
Default Gateway – When AWL700 has no idea where it can forward packets, it
deliver those packets to its default gateway.
3.1.2 PPPoE Parameters
When you choose to use PPPoE mode to acquire your WAN IP addresses, you should
first set up PPPoE parameters to facilitate AWL700 to communicate with your ISP.
When you apply for ADSL dial-in service, you will acquire your PPPoE parameters from
your ISP.
